He smiled slightly again, but this time no one could see the smile hidden behind his computer. Without any special operation on One Autumn Leaf, it jumped down.

Everything was exactly the same as when Du Ming fought Fang Rui. The change began after One Autumn Leaf jumped out.

Howling Dragon Crushing Army!

One Autumn Leaf actually borrowed force in the vertical direction after jumping down and used this ultimate move, like a comet crashing straight down. The speed of the fall was many times faster than Moon Embracing Stream's descent!

Such momentum naturally caused a different commotion. However, Fang Rui still didn't raise his perspective to take a look. The movement of Boundless Sea was no longer as unhurried as in the previous match. He rushed out with a swift step, not to distance himself, but to walk around the stalactite.

Boundless Sea circled behind the stalactite. At that moment, One Autumn Leaf, who was rushing down heroically, seemed to stiffen. Immediately afterward, One Autumn Leaf hurriedly kicked the stalactite, and the battle lance Evil Annihilation leveled out, intending to directly change direction to the ground. However, the timing seemed to be slightly off, and the change of direction seemed forced. In the end, One Autumn Leaf touched the ground, and the direction was twisted, but not completely. The half-bowed body failed to lift up, and the heroism of Howling Dragon Crushing Army was gone. The short rush forward after landing looked like tilling the land.

"Hahahaha." Chen Guo laughed mercilessly, "You just wanted me to see this?"

"This…" Ye Xiu couldn't answer.

Looking at Sun Xiang's thinking and intentions, if Fang Rui's response repeated the previous match's ideas, no matter what kind of change, Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf's Howling Dragon Crushing Army could cope. This high-difficulty right-angle change was really quite beautiful and definitely not something anyone could do, so probably no one would have thought of it.

Sun Xiang was fully utilizing the information obtained by his teammates. He wasn't, as Chen Guo thought, showing off that he was better than his teammates with the same tactics. He wanted to use the repeated tactics to draw out Fang Rui's repeated response, and then use a well-thought-out tactic to restrain him. This was a very typical team-based arena tactic, making full use of the team nature of the arena.

It was a pity that Fang Rui's response was completely different from the previous match. Boundless Sea directly circled behind the stalactite. No matter how brilliant the operation was, it was impossible for One Autumn Leaf to move around the stalactite in such a rapid descent.

This response stunned Sun Xiang. As a result, he was stunned for a moment, and his operation was a little slower. In the end, this very difficult right-angle change operation was barely completed, but the posture shown by the character was not very good-looking.

An imperfect operation would naturally leave some flaws. Boundless Sea had already turned out behind One Autumn Leaf, gathering energy in both palms.

Earth-Shattering Cannon!

The qi surged wildly, but it missed!

One Autumn Leaf, with his back to Boundless Sea, seemed to know that the other party would attack from behind. He jumped up directly with his back, leaped over the qi of the Earth-Shattering Cannon, turned around in the air, and a strong magical aura had gathered on the battle lance Evil Annihilation!

Rapid Descent! Shattering Mountain River!

The magical aura fell straight to the ground and spread. The ground was constantly impacted, bulging and erupting!

The magical aura that had circled underground seemed to condense some power, and the mud and rocks burst open violently. Fang Rui knew it was bad and didn't dare to resist. Boundless Sea rolled and crawled back, and the sneak attack was completely blown up by Sun Xiang in one blow. At that moment, Chen Guo really didn't want to admit it, but… she really seemed to see the shadow of the former Battle God.

Holding the Evil Annihilation lance, One Autumn Leaf rushed towards Boundless Sea. Boundless Sea ran wildly, looking back from time to time, looking panicked. Soon, he rushed to a stalactite, rushed up and circled around it, and immediately flashed behind the stalactite.

Sun Xiang didn't hesitate at all. One Autumn Leaf rushed forward, finally striding forward diagonally, leaving a certain amount of space while turning to the back of the stalactite. However, this space wasn't large. In the eyes of too many people, this wasn't enough to cope with a possible ambush. But Sun Xiang had this confidence, this confidence.

A step forward!

There was no one behind the stalactite. Boundless Sea had no intention of ambushing at all. He just used the stalactite to block Sun Xiang's view and continued to flee in a panic.

Sun Xiang sneered, and One Autumn Leaf continued to chase. However, One Autumn Leaf didn't have the opportunity to unleash an attribute-less aura, and didn't have much advantage in movement speed. The distance between the two characters remained the same. But Sun Xiang wasn't anxious, and just kept One Autumn Leaf closely following Boundless Sea.

He couldn't catch up like this, but what about after Howling Dragon Crushing Army's cooldown was over?

Everyone realized this, and the TV broadcast even showed a close-up of the cooldown clock of One Autumn Leaf's skill tree, as if it were the death countdown of Boundless Sea.

Chen Guo couldn't laugh anymore.

Fang Rui, who was high-spirited when he fought Du Ming, was now being chased by Sun Xiang like a stray dog.

"Is there no way?" Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu knew what she was thinking and comforted her, "Don't panic, Fang Rui's rhythm hasn't been disrupted."

"Not disrupted?" In Chen Guo's eyes, Boundless Sea was in all kinds of embarrassing situations, completely messed up.

"It would be good if Sun Xiang thought so too." Ye Xiu sighed.

"What do you mean!" Chen Guo expressed dissatisfaction.

"Hehe…" Ye Xiu pretended to be stupid, smiling without saying a word.

"Alright! Howling Dragon Crushing Army's cooldown is about to be over!" Pan Lin shouted in the TV broadcast, "Three, two, one!!"

Pan Lin swallowed the words below, because Sun Xiang didn't immediately use Howling Dragon Crushing Army with One Autumn Leaf after the cooldown was over, as they had expected.

He wasn't impatient. He saw that Fang Rui wasn't in a mess at this time. He had been running, but he hadn't found a chance to counterattack. If he rashly attacked at this time, he might give the other party a chance. The distance between the two sides couldn't be solved by a Howling Dragon Crushing Army. Fang Rui wasn't that bad.

Sun Xiang, who ignored Fang Rui's provocation towards Tang Rou, didn't show the slightest contempt for Fang Rui in the match. From the beginning, he used the information collected by his teammates in the previous match, which showed how much he valued his opponent.

Sun Xiang was no longer as naive as he was in the Yueyun team, nor was he as arrogant and conceited as he was in the Excellent Era team. He was already a fairly mature professional player, dealing with the game with a very appropriate sense of proportion.

Could he just keep chasing like this?

Seeing that the two of them didn't have any other actions except sprinting, the audience couldn't help but wonder. The finals were such a high-level competition. It couldn't end up being a race to see who had better control of their stamina, right? That would be a little boring.

Although most people thought so, it seemed that there was nothing that could objectively change the situation except for the consumption of stamina. The TV broadcast gave the stamina charts of the two characters, which was a very rare comparison in professional games.

"Boundless Sea's stamina seems to last a little longer?" Pan Lin said after looking at the comparison.

"Both of these players at this level definitely won't have any problems controlling their stamina. But the two classes have natural differences in this regard. Although One Autumn Leaf is slightly ahead in terms of stamina attributes, the consumption of stamina for the Qigong Master class is smaller than that of ordinary classes, probably a deliberate design to show the characteristics of the continuous and lasting nature of Qigong!" Li Yibo said.

"Probably no one usually pays attention to this kind of thing, right?" Pan Lin said.

"But now… this may become the final key." Li Yibo said.

"To actually use this point, Fang Rui is indeed…" Pan Lin said.

"Yes."

"But in this way, all he's doing is using a little more stamina, running a little faster, throwing Sun Xiang a little further away, and then what?" Pan Lin said.

"Then, he'll look for an opportunity to counterattack…" Li Yibo said reluctantly, and Pan Lin also felt particularly boring. Such precise calculations, such a persistent operation that couldn't allow for any mistakes, in the end, just to throw the opponent a little further away, and then they would start all over again?

There were some things that the two of them weren't suitable to say on the show, but in their hearts, they both had the same thought: "I already took off my pants, and you're showing me this?"

The race came to the end, which meant starting all over again. This kind of development had no value to look forward to. Pan Lin and Li Yibo couldn't muster any passion or tension. Just staying awake was the most they could concentrate on.

"One Autumn Leaf's stamina is all used up." Pan Lin said listlessly.

"Yes." Li Yibo responded listlessly.

"Fang Rui should be clear about this, right?"

"Probably!"

"Doesn't Sun Xiang have any way to deal with it?" Pan Lin said.

"If he had a way, he would have used it long ago, right?" Li Yibo said.

"Oh…"

The two of them had an attitude of "that's how it is," and watched One Autumn Leaf's stamina retreat to zero.

"It's over."

"Yeah."

"Next…"

"Howling Dragon Crushing Army, I fuck!!!" Pan Lin shouted, even swearing because of the uncontrollable impulse, and he didn't even realize it. He was immersed in complete surprise and shock. They really didn't expect that Sun Xiang would use Howling Dragon Crushing Army to launch an attack when his stamina was completely exhausted.

Too unexpected, really too unexpected. Fang Rui must have never thought of it, right? That arrogant Sun Xiang is actually so calm now. It's really too unexpected.

Howling Dragon Crushing Army!

One Autumn Leaf rushed out, and the impact speed of this skill couldn't be dealt with by sprinting, which consumed stamina. However, there was a distance between the two characters after all, and it took time for Howling Dragon Crushing Army to rush over. The problem was, who would have thought that Howling Dragon Crushing Army would be used at this time? A slight hesitation would cause a failure to respond in time.

But Fang Rui didn't hesitate. He actually thought of this Howling Dragon Crushing Army.

Boundless Sea moved sideways, and Howling Dragon Crushing Army successfully forced him past. Then, he waved his palm and was about to launch a Spiral Qi Rush. Who would have thought that One Autumn Leaf wouldn't stop immediately after Howling Dragon Crushing Army missed, as Fang Rui had expected. Instead, he rushed past. The two characters missed each other again. One Autumn Leaf failed to get close, but Fang Rui didn't win the best chance to counterattack either. However, Qigong Masters were mid-range attackers. The distance that One Autumn Leaf's Howling Dragon Crushing Army kept widening only meant that the skills Fang Rui thought of couldn't be used. He still had other skills to attack with.

Qi Blade!

The already difficult-to-detect attack was released even more stealthily under Fang Rui's wretched methods. Viewers who weren't focused enough would probably think that Fang Rui's Boundless Sea wasn't doing anything at this time.

The Qi Blade was rubbed out, and Boundless Sea continued to gather energy in his palm, already running the next skill. One Autumn Leaf, who had already turned around, held up his battle lance, but the distance made it impossible for him to make any attacks. But suddenly, there was a flash, and only the traces of magical fluctuations could be seen in that position. One Autumn Leaf actually disappeared.

Instant Movement! The weapon skill that One Autumn Leaf chose for today's match was used at this time. It was actually Instant Movement.

The first use of a weapon skill always gives people surprises, but Instant Movement is a very common skill among the magic-type professions. Even comparing it horizontally across all professions, the selection rate of the Instant Movement skill is the highest. Among the other five major profession systems, there isn't a single skill that would make the professions in that system so single-mindedly fond of it.

Instant Movement, even if the teleportation distance of the first level is a bit short, whether it's to save one's life and escape, or to rush forward and get close, it's undoubtedly the most valuable divine skill.

So this change, for Fang Rui, perhaps shouldn't be too surprising?
